Well I'm down for the count. Earlier this week I started to lose my voice and picked up a nasty cough, headace, and sore throat. I worked all day Wednesday but was croaking a lot by the end. Yesterday I wasn't scheduled to work, which was a good thing since I felt beyond lousy. Then in the middle of the night last night I was hit with overwhelming nausea. I've been nauseous and, well, the end result of being nauseous all day. Luckily I've been able to keep down water and Saltines and I did pretty well with a fruit roll too. Good thing we've got a can of chicken noodle on the counter! I thought I may have caught the stomach part from Mini-Me's rotavirus, but it looks like the incubation period for that is 2 days and I visited her last Wednesday so I don't think it's that. I think it's just probably my own special virus. Lovely. I was going to head into Urgent Care yesterday but procrastinated, thinking I would go this morning. Well that didn't pan out since I'm unable to sit up for long periods of time, let alone drive to the doctor. And of course Kevin is out of town (in San Jose--he's coming back tonight). Kevin is no longer allowed to leave me by myself--something bad always happens. I was supposed to go to a baby shower tomorrow but I really don't think I'm going to make it. Hopefully I'll make it to my next shift at work on Sunday!

Call us if you need a ride!
